We did not pre-announce this, but for a few months we have been quietly shipping a new Evo-9 design. It is quieter on some platforms (such as the Glock 19) than 1 3/8 inch cans.
If you want a 9mm can and you want it now, this is the one.
In many cases we had lots of sessions over days or months (since last summer), and I averaged those together. This is far better than a single 10 shot average.
USP9 with American Eagle 147
SWR Trident 127.6, average of 17, 10 shot sessions (170 shots).
AAC Evo-9, 129.3, average of 24, 10 shot sessions (240 shots).
Gemtech MultiMount, 129.8, average of 11, 10 shot sessions (110 shots).
Gemtech Tundra, 130.8, average of 2, 10 shot sessions (20 shots).
Glock 19 with American Eagle 147
AAC Evo-9, 128.2, average of 9, 10 shot sessions (90 shots).
SWR Trident 136.2, average of 5, 10 shot sessions (50 shots).
1. I feel cheated, I wanted to hear them all dry and WET
2. This is to AAC, If I were to buy a newer Evo9(which I want to do) how can I tell its newer from the serial number? At what number UP are the new ones?

Yeah im not too happy that there werent wet numbers as well... With that being said, if Im only using glocks(17/19/34) as hosts, it looks like I should just get the Evo9 rather than the TiRANT. Rsilvers- didnt you test the glock 19 w/ TiRANT at 122db on the meter?

45s are popular wet because they have (had) to be wet to be hearing safe. It was almost required for normal use.
9mm doesn't need to be wet to be safe, and in my opinion it's kind of a novelty. It's like owning a car with nitrous, it's cool, but it eventually becomes a hassle and isn't worth the extra effort. It's fun to see how fast (or in this case quiet) you can get, and some people really enjoy that aspect, but it's a tangent from normal use.
Personally, I have zero interest in wet 9mm. However, I would agree that John's testing could be a little more thorough than CAN - NUMBER - DONE. I realize there is a lot of work there, but I would prefer some details like fit and finish etc. He used to have all that but that was testing 3 cans at a time max.

Very good points I have a decent bit of performance background between DSMs and mustangs, and the nitrous analogy really hits home. Nothing worse than pulling up next to a heads/cammed LS1 in a 98 cobra with a 125 wet shot and an empty bottle I dont currently have any suppressors, but can imagine running one wet all the time might be a bit of a hassle.
Now if only John wouldve tested with Alabama Ammo Special K as well as the normal 147gr stuff. I have seen maybe 2 boxes of the 147gr 9mm and I live in Houston
Thank you. Was the test Robert did with the Evo and Trident back in may done with special K as well? If so, I definitely need a TiRANT rather than an evo
I just had a "sealed" can opened and all internals replaced with stainless including the new endcaps. The forum member that did it said it was not any problem to perform the removal of the "sealed" endcaps when he did it. I had it refinished in Duracoat after the process. I could definately live with that for the update on the Evo-9.
Obviously, I want to stay on top of all upgrades possible on all my cans and would really like to update the Evo if you guys can see your way to do it.
